Fallen trees, vines, and debris are blocking the 35-acre pasture and interior pathways, starving grass of sunlight and preventing cows from reaching feed. We need coordinated mechanical felling and manual clearing to reopen the land.

Golaub Dairy Farm Recovery
The family-owned small dairy operation suffered major losses during Hurricane Melissa. The storm killed **4 cows, 2 heifers, and 3 calves**, and several trees collapsed onto the boundary fence, blocking access to the **35-acre pasture**. The **cow shed roof** was destroyed, halting all dairy production.
